off the list. This includes "my politician is better than
yours."

about cars or air cooled engine technology, especially:
- No politics, unless they have *explicit* Corvair or automotive
content.
- Likewise, no religion.
- Indicate actual name and city/state (and country if applicable), and
year/model/trans/motor of your 'Vair, this may help clarify your inquiry or
follow-up
- If you've asked a technical question, please let us know what the
solution turned out to be.
- Limit signature files to six lines or less.

- Sign messages with your real name.
- You can post pictures or other attachments to the list, just attach as
usual and the server will store the attachment and put a URL in its
place - try and keep your photos under 512KB. If you have many
photos, please put them on a web server and post the URL.
